Underware is a graphic design studio which is specialized in designing and producing typefaces. These are often conventional in terms of legibility - yet functional, having concepts that seek for new visual, typographic and linguistic possibilities.
The company was founded in 1999 by Akiem Helmling, Bas Jacobs and Sami Kortemäki.
We are based in Den Haag, Helsinki and Amsterdam.

Founded in 1994, Porchez Typofonderie is an independent digital type foundry in France.

Berlin-based Dutch type designer Luc(as) de Groot has worked with and for many well-known companies and publications. He has made custom fonts for prestigious newspapers such as Folha de S.Paulo, Le Monde, Metro and Der Spiegel in addition to creating corporate type for international companies including Sun Microsystems, Bell South, Heineken, Siemens and Miele. He designed two font families for Microsoft: the ‘monospaced’ font family Consolas, the new alternative to Courier; and Calibri, the new default typeface in MS Word.

De Groot founded his own type foundry, LucasFonts, in 2000.
Its aim, in a few words: to make the world a better place by designing typefaces that look good and work well under any circumstances and in many languages. Graphic designers across the planet have discovered the special qualities of Luc(as)’ fonts. They are attracted by their functionality and friendly appearance and love the enormous range of possibilities that each family offers. Many also appreciate the idiosyncrasies – a quest for extremes that has resulted in some of the narrowest, thinnest, wittiest or boldest typefaces around.

Since 1989, Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones have helped some of the world's foremost publications, corporations, and institutions develop their unique voice through typography. Their body of work includes some of the world's most famous designs, typefaces marked by both high performance and high style.

What Type?

I just realized that I have been on a posting spree on this part of cyber space :S. pssst.... i'm in close proximity to the Sooper Tam... that ought to explain the enthusiasm :D

What Type is a blog/forrum started by a bunch of graphic designers who were "tired of the inactivity and indifference that is growing everywhere and geared up to use design and comedy to wake up the inane world". To put it mildly, they encourage designers to send in entries that asks a relevent question that starts with the words "what type", containing the answer within itself... some of the entries are nice.

So send in entries, take a peek, leave comments... have fun

Cheers!
